Does anyone know a work around Error code 96: unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available? The problem is that we have a Quantum DLT4700 with 6 slots. I've used it to run successful backups twice. The problem now is that I can't use the configured media anymore because Media manager doesn't recognize the volumes as new tapes. It still believes the tapes are the first tapes used. It only try to access two of the tapes and when it does, it fails and freezes the tapes. I've tried unfreezing the tapes using bpmedia command running the backup again but it still fails. Also I've add the following to my bp.conf file: ALLOW_MULTIPLE_RETENTION_PER_MEDIA ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = CPIO ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = AOS/VS ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
